The Churches in Christian-majority Chin state fall victim to the armed attacks and looting by the Tatmadaw soldiers.
The Chindwin reports that on 28 November, the Tatmadaw fired heavy and small weapons targeting the St. Michael Christian Church and its convent run by the church in Kanpalet, Chin State. This was done by forcing the priests and sisters at the convent to flee the town and hide in a safer area.
The following day, Tatmadaw soldiers looted the convent building. They have stolen many valuables, including cash worth 50 lakhs (USD4800), medical supplies, bags of rice, computer, and accessories.
A local pastor who requests not to mention his name told Chindwin that most Christian churches in Kanpalet have had experienced at least once or twice shooting by the junta troops.
Nearly the entire property at Emmanuel Baptist Church in the town has also been looted by the Tatmadaw.
